line, and other flammable vapors and materials.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.

To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

In Case Of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.

COOKTOP: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet. Never use water on a grease fire.

OVEN DOOR: If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by closing oven door.

Never attempt to pick up or move a flaming pan. Do not use water on grease fires, use baking soda or a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

IF THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING:

WARNING: To reduce risk of tipping of the appliance from abnormal usage or by excessive loading of the oven door, the appliance must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip device.

Child Safety

NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.

NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.

CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on backguard of a range. Children climbing on the appliance door to reach items could be seriously injured.

About Your Appliance

NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the burner prevents proper performance and increases carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.

Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door and areas around door and window.

Save These Instructions for Future Reference

WARNING: NEVER use appliance door, or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or seat as this may result in possible tipping of the appliance, damage to the appliance, and serious injuries.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.

Cooking Safety

Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.

NEVER leave a surface-cooking operation unattended, especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. Do not use high heat for extended cooking operations.

NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure build up may cause container to burst, resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should never be used as pot holders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose-fitting or longsleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.

Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry pot holder. Always turn the oven off at the end of cooking.

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before moving or replacing food.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.

NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

Utensil Safety

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid

boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven cooking bags.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Cleaning Safety

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Self-Clean Oven

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare-ups.

CAUTION: Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc., in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a selfclean cycle. Therefore, touching the cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.

Important Safety Notice And Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when engaged in the selfclean cycle, there may be low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle to opening a window and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in

the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated nonstick cookware may be equally harmful.

SUGGESTED HEAT SETTINGS

The size and type of cookware will affect the flame setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting flame settings, refer to

“Cooking Made Simple”.

Setting Uses

HIGH Use to bring liquid to a boil,

or reach pressure in a pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

Use LOW to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt chocolate or butter.

Some cooking may take place on the LO setting if the pan is covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.

LOW

Surface Cooking

CAUTION:

➢ If flame should go out during a

cooking operation, turn the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait five minutes before relighting the burner.

➢ Be sure all surface controls are

set in the OFF position prior to supplying gas to the range.

➢ Never touch cooktop until it has

cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect your hands.

SURFACE CONTROL KNOBS

Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from LOW to HIGH. At the HIGH setting, a

detent or notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

Graphics near the knob identify which burner the knob controls. For example, the graphic below shows the right rear burner location.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1. Place a pan on the burner grate.

➢ The burner flame may lift off or

appear separated from the port if a pan is not placed on the grate.

2. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LIGHT setting.

➢ A clicking (spark) sound will be

heard and the burner will light. (All ignitors will spark when any surface burner knob is turned to the LIGHT position.)

3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired flame size.

➢ The ignitor will continue to

spark until the knob is turned past the LIGHT position.

OPERATING DURING A POWER FAILURE

1. Hold a lighted match to the desired

surface burner head.

2. Push in and turn the control knob

slowly to LIGHT.

3. Adjust the flame to the desired

level.

PILOTLESS IGNITION

Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot light. Each sealed burner has a spark ignitor. When cleaning around the surface burner, use care. If cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it could be damaged preventing ignition.

If the surface burner does not light, check if ignitor is broken, soiled or wet. If clogged, clean the small port beneath the ignitor using a straight pin or soft bristle brush.

Cooktop

TO PREVENT THE COOKTOP FROM DISCOLORING OR STAINING:

➢ Clean cooktop after each use. ➢ Wipe acidic or sugary spills as

soon as the cooktop has cooled as these spills may discolor the porcelain.

The cooktop is designed with two contoured wells with removable porcelain covered drip pans to contain spills. (See page 14 for cleaning directions.)

Unlike a range with standard gas burners, this cooktop does not lift up nor is it removable. Do not attempt

to lift the cooktop for any reason.

SEALED BURNERS

The sealed burners of your range are secured to the cooktop and are not designed to be removed. Since the burners are sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. However, the burners should be cleaned after each use.

The head portion of the burner on select models has a removable cap that is easily removed for cleaning. (See page 13 for cleaning directions.)

The burner will operate effectively with or without the burner cap.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BURNER (12,000 BTU*)

There is one highspeed burner on your range located in the right front position. This offers high- speed cooking that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for large-quantity cooking.

* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.

SIMMER BURNER

This burner is located in the left rear position. The simmer burner offers a lower BTU flame for delicate sauces or melting chocolate.

BURNER GRATES

The grates must be properly positioned

before cooking. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.

Do not operate the burners without a pan on the grate. The grate’s porcelain finish may chip without a pan to absorb the heat from the burner flame.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures of the gas flame.

NOTES:

➢ A properly adjusted burner with

clean ports will light within a few seconds. If using natural gas the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.

If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy the air/gas mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.)

With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This is normal and adjustment is not necessary.

➢ With some types of gas, you may

hear a “popping” sound when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.

➢ If the control knob is turned very

quickly from HIGH to LOW, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the Off position, wait several seconds and relight the burner.

➢ The flame should be adjusted so

it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

CARE & CLEANING

Self-Clean Oven

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the entire oven interior.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.

BEFORE SELF-CLEANING

Turn off the oven light before cleaning as the light may burn out during the clean cycle.

Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The oven

racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle.

Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside of gasket) and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami or detergent and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.

To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal-

in heat during the clean cycle.

Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle.

Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The

porcelain finish may discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.

DURING CLEAN CYCLE

When the LOCK indicator word lights in the display, the door cannot be opened. To prevent damage to door, do not force door open when the LOCK indicator word is displayed.

Some smoke and odor may be detected the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time. Smoke may also occur if oven is heavily soiled or if broiler pan was left in oven.

As oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage oven.

AFTER SELF-CLEANING

About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the LOCK indicator word will turn off. At this point, the door can be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash which can be removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain resulting from the heating and cooling of the finish. This is normal and will not affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will NOT affect performance.

CAUTION:

➢ It is normal for parts of the range to

become hot during a clean cycle.

➢ Avoid touching cooktop, door, win-

dow, or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

➢ To prevent damage to oven door,

do not attempt to open the door when the LOCK indicator word is displayed.

➢ Do not use commercial oven

cleaners on the self-clean oven

finish or around any part of the oven as they will damage the finish or parts.

SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR SELF-CLEAN

1. Close oven door.

2. Press Clean pad.

➢ “--:--” or 3:00 will light in display. ➢ CLEAN will flash in display. On

select models LOCK indicator word will appear.

➢ If door is not closed or locked,

beeps will sound and “door” will flash in display.

3. Press More+ or Less- pad to select

clean time or change clean time.

➢ Oven is preset to clean for 3

hours. Or,

➢ Select 2 hours for light soil, up to

4 hours for heavy soil.

4. TO DELAY THE START OF CLEANING:

(if not, skip to #5):

a. Press Stop Time pad. b. Press More+ or Less- pad to

select the time of day you wish the oven to turn off.

c. Press Clock pad and time of day

will reappear in display.

display to show the oven is set for delayed clean operation.

5. When the oven turns on, the clean symbol and the indicator word LOCK will light in the display.

➢ Door cannot be opened when

LOCK is displayed.

6. About one hour after the clean cycle ends, the LOCK indicator word will turn off. The oven door can be opened.

TO CANCEL CLEAN CYCLE:

1. Press CANCEL pad.

2. If LOCK is NOT displayed, open

oven door. If LOCK is displayed, allow oven to cool about one hour then open oven door

BULB COVER

WIRE

RETAINER

➢ Check the use of foil in the oven. Nev-

er use foil to cover an entire oven rack. Place a small piece of foil on the rack below the pan to catch spillovers.

➢ Check pan placement. Stagger pans

when using two racks. Allow 1–2 inches between pans and oven walls.

➢ Make sure the oven vent has not been

blocked. See page 8 for location.

➢ Check to make sure range is level.

BAKING RESULTS DIFFER FROM PREVIOUS OVEN.

➢ Temperatures often vary between a

new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven temperature often “drifts” and may become hotter or cooler. See page 7 for instructions on adjusting the oven temperature.

NOTE: It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are in question.

FOOD NOT BROILING PROPERLY.

➢ Check oven setting. See page 10. ➢ Check rack positions. See page 10. ➢ Aluminum foil was incorrectly used.

Never line the broiler pan insert with foil.

OVEN SMOKES EXCESSIVELY DURING BROILING.

➢ Food too close to flame. See page 10

for more information.

➢ Broiler insert covered with aluminum

foil.

➢ Excess fat not trimmed from meat prior

to broiling.

➢ A soiled broiler pan was used.

OVEN WILL NOT SELF-CLEAN.

➢ Check to make sure controls are set

properly.

➢ Check to make sure the cycle is not set

for a delayed start.

➢ Check if door is closed.

OVEN DID NOT CLEAN PROPERLY.

➢ Longer cleaning time may be needed.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

CHECK THESE POINTS IF...

PART OR ALL OF APPLIANCE DOES NOT WORK.

➢ Check to be sure plug is securely insert-

ed into receptacle.

➢ Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or

replace fuse.

➢ Check power supply. ➢ Check if surface and/or oven controls

have been properly set. See pages 4 and

➢ Check if oven door is unlocked after a

self-clean cycle. See pages 13.

➢ Check if oven is set for a delayed cook or

clean program. See pages 11 and 13.

SURFACE BURNER FAILS TO LIGHT.

➢ Check to be sure unit is properly con-

nected to power supply.

➢ Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped

main circuit breaker.

➢ Check to be sure burner ports or ignition

ports are not clogged. See page 4.

➢ Check to be sure ignitor is dry and click-

ing. Burner will not light if ignitor is damaged, soiled or wet. If ignitor doesn’t click, turn control knob Off.

THE FLAME IS UNEVEN.

➢ Burner ports may be clogged. ➢ Flame setting may need to be adjusted.

SURFACE BURNER FLAME LIFTS OFF PORTS.

➢ Check to be sure a pan is sitting on the

grate above.

BAKING RESULTS ARE NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED.

➢ Check the oven temperature selected.

Make sure oven is preheated when recipe or directions recommend preheat.

➢ Check rack positions. See page 9. ➢ Use correct pan. Dark pans produce

dark browning. Shiny pans produce light browning. See “Cooking Made Simple” booklet for more information on bakeware.

➢ Excessive spillovers, especially sugary

and/or acidic foods, were not removed prior to the self-clean cycle.

OVEN DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AFTER SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.

➢ Oven interior is still hot. Allow about

one hour for the oven to cool after the completion of a self-clean cycle. The door can be opened when the LOCK indicator word is not displayed.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION COLLECTS ON OVEN WINDOW.

➢ This is normal when cooking food high

in moisture.

➢ Excessive moisture was used when

cleaning the window.

STRONG ODOR OR LIGHT SMOKE OCCURS WHEN OVEN IS TURNED ON.

➢ This is normal for a new range and will

disappear after a few uses. Initiating a clean cycle will “burn off” the smells more quickly.

➢ Turning on a ventilation fan will help

remove the smoke and/or odor.

➢ Excessive food soils on the oven bot-

tom. Use a self-clean cycle.

“F” PLUS A NUMBER APPEARS IN THE DISPLAY.

➢ This is called a fault code. If a fault

code appears in the display and beeps sound, press the CANCEL pad. If the fault code and beeps continue, disconnect power to the appliance. Wait a few minutes, then reconnect power. If fault code and beeps still continue, disconnect power to the appliance and call an authorized servicer.

➢ If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive

flare-ups may result in a fault code during a clean cycle. Press CANCEL pad and allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out excess soil, then reset the clean cycle. If the fault code and beeps still continue, disconnect power to the appliance and call an authorized servicer.
